Peninsula College hosts a number of events in February to honor Black History Month. Events are free and open to the public.

At 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, the college welcomes director Dru Holley to campus for a screening and discussion of the film “Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts,” held at the Little Theater at the main PC campus, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles.

By combining a multitude of diverse perspectives, the film examines the profound and often-contradictory roles played in American history by The Buffalo Soldiers, and how they fought on two very different sets of front lines: military conflicts abroad and civil rights struggles at home.

At 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16, the college welcomes (virtually) Dr. Aiesha Turman, offering a program titled “Technologies of Protest: Towards a Black Femme Afrofuture” followed by a dialogue, offered on Zoom.

An educator, writer, cultural producer and interdisciplinary scholar, Turman was featured on the nationally-renowned Story Corps radio program. In 2010, she founded The Black Girl Project after writing, directing, and producing the award-winning documentary of the same name.

Join Zoom meeting at pencol-edu.zoom.us/j/89779530051 (meeting ID 897 7953 0051).

The college on Feb. 9 hosted the David Jones Trio, featuring music by African American composers who made significant contributions to American musical culture.
